Bah, my sig rig is out of commission. Either PSU or CPU.... havent got the time to fiddle with it.

[sswilson]

Ouch.....

GL with that. Hope it's not the CPU.......


On another note to all... have a look at your XP folding machines.... there was an update or something today and I found mine locked up when I checked it this afternoon.

3 rigs out of 5 are out since last night. I just can't find out what's wrong. Says can't connect to the Server. But when I ping it, answers right back....

[sswilson]

Not sure what to suggest if a ping is returning ok.

I'm assuming you reboot everything to see if it was a network issue.....

Looking at FahMon it's obvious that it was indeed hung (screensaver on XP wouldn't unlock so I couldn't see what was going on on-screen) it's chugging along fine now but we'll have to wait for 5 hrs+ to see if I have any luck uploading the WU.

There are some servers listed as fail here..... Folding@Home server status , but using their methodology of testing (report as fail if they can't ping it) wouldn't report the servers you're trying to get to as a fail since you can ping them.

Are you still chugging along, but just can't upload finished WUs?

[3.0charlie]

The rigs couldn't d/l the new WUs. Upload was fine though for the last WUs. No network issue, full reboot on both rigs - FAH re-install even. Still no luck. So I shut down everything, went out for supper. Just came back, fired both rigs.

It works. Don't know how, don't know why, it just does.

Go figure. Lost 24hrs...

Since my system is on almost all the time, I decided to do a little Folding and help the team out.

But, my CPU utilization maxes out at 50%. Do I have to run 2 instances from separate folders (1 for each core) ?

Cheers,

With a Dual Core, you'll have the best production using the SMP Client, shown as "Windows 2000/XP/Vista SMP client console version 5.91 beta" on the FAH download page. It's the last client of the High-performance Windows section.

Or you can install the same second client that you already have, but in a different folder. Also if you do so, make sure that the Machine ID is different from both clients - ie. 1 and 2.

Getting a second Quadcore system tomorrow! Put together by crazyea from Xtremesystems/NCIX! Going to put that thing to work folding too!

Great! The more, the merrier!

(but on a side note, I don't like that bend at the pump outlet...)
